Introducing the Results of Basic Research

Abstract

Successful resolution of the large-scale tasks advanced by the Twenty-sixth CPSU Congress is associated with the acceleration of scientific and technical progress, with the development of science as the fundamental basis of this progress. The problem of accelerating scientific and technical progress is primarily one introducing already attained scientific and technical results, the problem of securing their effective transfer to the sphere of material production. The results of basic research materialized in new, progressive technology become a serious factor in increasing the productivity of social labor and the national income. Marx emphasized that the process of reproduction everywhere has as its prerequisite, in addition to other factors, the influence "of the power of science as such and of science already incorporated and realized in production."¹
